Improved one-pot synthesis of 1-aryl-3-trifluoroacetyl-1H-pyrroles under Swern oxidation

This study describes an improved one-pot, four-step synthesis of a new series of 1-aryl-3-trifluoroacetyl pyrroles from the reaction of 3-trifluoroacetyl-4,5-dihydrofuran with arylamines, giving 1,1,1-trifluoro-3-(2- hydroxyethyl)-4-arylamino-3-buten-2-ones, which were directly submitted to Swern oxidation to furnish 1,1,1-trifluoro-3-(2-ethanal)-4-arylamino-3-buten-2-ones. Subsequent intramolecular cyclization of the corresponding enaminoaldehydes followed by aromatization rendered the title compounds in a 30 to 56% overall yield.

Convenient one-pot synthesis of N-substituted 3-trifluoroacetyl pyrroles

A new one-pot strategy for the synthesis of a series of new N-substituted 3-trifluoroacetyl pyrroles is presented. These compounds were obtained by the reaction of 3-trifluoroacetyl-4,5-dihydrofuran with primary amines, which generated 1,1,1-trifluoro-3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-alkylaminobut-3-en-2-one intermediates. In most cases these intermediates were not stable enough to be isolated. Thus, in the same reaction vessel they were directly submitted to oxidation with PCC (Corey's reagent) to furnish 1,1,1-trifluoro-3-(2-ethanal)-4- alkylaminobut-3-en-2-ones, which under reflux underwent intramolecular cyclization to give the desired N-substituted 3-trifluoroacetyl pyrroles, in moderate yields. All of these pyrroles were tested against pan-susceptible Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and clinical isolates INH- and RMP-resistant strain and some of these compounds showed significant in vitro antimicrobial activity.
